I am Sophie, a Swedish woman by birth but English by adoption. I have a little mud hotel in the beautiful and ancient West African town of Djenne, Mali. WWW.HOTELDJENNEDJENNO.COM Because of unstable political
situation, tourism has ground to a halt. Hotel still open! But hotel staff mainly working in Bogolan studio now: www.malimali.org check out our fab online shop!

It began on Saturday about 4 pm when the mud was collected by the river by all available hands and donkey carts . Petit Baba was in charge of Dolly and one of our carts as usual and I decided, rather fool hardily, to ride with them on Petit Bandit. He behaved very well but was extremely excited of course and kept performing Piaffe (cantering on the spot).
